iPod Touch I Think I Luv U

BEAR is not too thrilled with his new iPod Touch 4th Gen... He's threatening to do something lethal if we don't figure this %$#@ thing out soon... HELP George Clooney! Where R U when we need U? Bet this 5-year old on Mad Ave could figure out the iPod Touch but we can't :(

What's with this slidey thing at the bottom? Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. And don't tell me to read the directions in the box - R U kidding. The type is -00.

I would hang in there with your iphone 4. I have the earlier model and my son has the 4. We really love them. Maybe you need to go back to the store and check out your phone's function. I think you can adjust the opening of your phone (the sliding bar)under your settings. It goes to sleep to save your battery. I know you can do it. You've had other challenges in your life and have overcome!

Also, when we were in Paris we used the ZUTI app. It helped us know how long each trip would take. It was great for us novices.

That's one thing ..I don't know I could get the hang of:) Yet my 4 yr old grandson plays with his mom's..and does things..:) Like Netflix..the 6 yr old tells me how to get to it..what to do etc..Their Wiiiiii also:)Ok I see that makes 3 things..;)

.. Great Carol .. you can also swing into the Apple store and they will help you .. they may not have the time to help all your issues at once (as I think they sell "classes", don't they?) ... glad you got a friend help in the meantime ... bon chance

iPod and iPhone are slightly different. But they make the missing manual for both. You don't open an app. When you download it, you just put your finger or thumb on the screen where the app is and it opens.

I think if you go where you bought it or tell us where you are now we can tell you how to use it.

There are roughly 1000megabytes in 1 gigabyte. So on your ipod touch, you have 32,000 megabytes... the Paris Food Market app, at 303mb, is no problemo. It will take a long time to fill 32gigs!Good luck!

Hahaaaa. You are too funny, m'dear. I can just see you--let's face it, though, how many of us actually read the instructions? Not me, for sure. I always just figure it out on my own, so I'm with you there. I have complete confidence in you--you'll have the hang of that thing in no time flat. Enjoy it, and go ahead--get that bear friend for Bear.

Good luck! I love my iPod when traveling but I'm a true tech luddite. Yesterday I bought an app called Air Sharing recommended at a travel blog: http://www.slowtrav.com/europe/travel_with_ipod_touch.htmSounded so wonderful...save Google map directions, save print screens of web pages, save PDF files (like Patricia Wells French food glossary....all in a easy to read folder transferred from your computer to your iPod. SIGH. I spent all of yesterday much of it on the phone with tech support. I am kind of close. Still, I love my iPod and when it can do that....I'll love it more.

http://support.apple.com/manuals/Select your devise & download your manual. I through its instruction made a tab for reference category & put everything with info about my iPad there. It appears your iTouch should do same. Believe me, Carol, I have only touched the tip of the ice berg when it comes to discovering all the features, much less how to use them!Next I'm getting several art apps & a stylist. Maybe I won't be as self-conscious sketching in public with it!Once the set up is done I know you & Bear will be scheduling iTouch time.

I'm glad you stuck with it, it's well worth it. There's actually an app with tips on how to get the most out of your touch/phone....As a New Yorker, you'll love all the conveniences-I just made dinner reservations on my iPhone for next week in the city via Open Table on my IPhone. Easy breezy! And the GPS is so convenient if you're trying to remember where a particular store is, just so helpful. Have fun! Claudia

BTW did you try haagen dazs macaroons? OR i missed your post when I was on vacay? I have a pic of them on my blog coucoubaou.tumblr.com and im curious what you- macaroon lover (just like me but i stick really to laduree, pierre herme, la maison du chocolat only) will think about them! Greetings :)

As Melissa said, the 303 MB app will fit easily. Your 32 GB capacity is probably more space than you'll ever need. (Unless you store a lot of movies on it. Each feature-length movie can take several GB of space.)

I am so glad your ITouch frustrations have been solved (via update). I love reading your Parisian musings and felt so sad when I saw that Bear had such trials with the new toy! I recently found your site because I too have come to love the macaron and thanks to you, all the other lovely treats and places you paint! :)
